A hair miracle...and more

BEFORE










AFTER

With time, patience and willingness I can definitely make a difference in my hair. It takes me about 45 minutes, a lot of heat, a lot of brushing and pulling, but more than anything, it takes my willingness to go through the process. It's tiring, but I love the way my hair looks after I'm done.

Same happens in our walk with God. He can change us, He can make of us something beautiful, He has all the time in the world, all the patience, the only thing He needs from us is our willingness to go through His life changing process. I do get tired, at times, it seems like the best of me is dying in the process, but the new me that comes out of that is way better than the old.

Think about it, if I can do this with my hair, imagine what God can do with my life? I guess the real question is: Am I willing?

Just because...

I'm happy just because
you woke me up today, gave me lots of love
and, even though I didn't thank you, you kept on giving more

I'm happy just because
the sky called out my name
and everywhere I went today, your signature was there

I'm happy just because
I don't walk alone

My Mom the mechanic...

A couple of weeks ago, my car started developing a weird, yet annoying noise. I started worrying, wondering how much money my mechanic was going to charge for fixing whatever was wrong with it. However, I didn't tell anyone, didn't call my mechanic, didn't do anything, all because I was afraid it was going to be a mayor problem and I was not going to have the money to fix it. Each day my car was more uncomfortable to drive and the noise got louder and louder. "Man, if I could afford it! It's probably the transmission or something big like that. God help me" I would say to myself.

Well, today I asked my Mom to go somewhere with me and, as I started driving, she heard it. She heard and said "Priscilla, you need some steering oil in your car, honey!" I laughed and said "what are you a mechanic now?", but she was sure. We went to Walgreen's, she picked up a bottle of steering oil, she even asked me to open the hood so she could take care of it.

I turned on the car and started driving. It was magic! the noise was gone and it was a lot easier to drive my car. I can't believe how simple the solution was. I can't believe I spent so many days driving it like that, getting worried, frustrated, sad, because I didn't have the money to fix something that only required a $5 bottle of steering oil. Can you believe that?

Fear makes things look so much bigger than what they really are. I'm so done with it! That's why I'm so determined to break free from it. I'm on my way...and not alone :)

Thank you Mom, for finding the problem. Thank you God, for the $5 dollar solution and the lesson that came with it.
